Paris, the City of Light, deep in mourning. The Eiffel Tower, dark. No lovers roaming the deserted streets. A friend, who has lived there many years, laments: “This is so not Paris. This is a city in pain. It feels like a war zone, surreal, incredible.”
September in Paris is one of the best times to visit the City of Light, with the end of summer and beginning of fall.
It was in Paris where I first got exposed to various cuisines. Before I moved there, my tastebuds were familiar only with Filipino, Chinese and French cooking.
